|
| Vaporous Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) has been used for more than a decade to sterilize clean rooms and pharmaceutical processing equipment and, more recently, to decontaminate anthraxcontaminated buildings. Recent studies at ECBC have shown that the addition of low-levels of ammonia gas renders VHP reactive towards GD, converting it to pinacolyl methylphosphonic acid. Thus, with suitable activation via ammonia gas, modified vaporous hydrogen peroxide (mVHP) affords the broad-spectrum decontamination of the ... |

|
| The radii of octadecanethiol spots deposited by an atomic force microscope tip onto a gold surface were studied as a function of contact time and humidity. The deposition is well described by twodimensional diffusion from an annular source of constant concentration, with a surface diffusion coeffi- cient of 8400 nm2 s21, independent of humidity. Facile transfer is observed even after near continuous deposition for more than 24 h in a ... |

|
 | Cleanroom software engineering is a theory-based, team-oriented process for development and certification of high reliability software systems under statistical quality control. A principal objective of the Cleanroom process is development of software that exhibits zero failures in use. The Cleanroom name is borrowed from hardware Cleanrooms, with their emphasis on rigorous engineering discipline and focus on defect prevention rather than defect removal. Cleanroom combines mathematically-based methods of software specification, design, ... |

|
| Control of contamination during processing and integration of spacecraft and launch vehicles is fundamental to ensuring mission performance and longevity. Molecular contamination, or nonvolatile residue (NVR), is limited by selection of materials and the control of procedures and facilities. Tests to diagnose NVR accretion in clean rooms and on spacecraft surfaces rely on toxic and ozone-depleting solvents (methylene chloride and 1,1,1 trichloroethane). This report documents literature review and laboratory experimentation ... |

| High performance optical and microelectronic components have ever tightening contamination specifications placed upon them. Contamination is now seen as a major reason for the degradation of space based optical systems and failure of high density integrated circuits used throughout industrial and military systems. To address this problem, contamination removal and collection techniques have been developed by Rome Laboratory (RL) However, some of these removal techniques create a flux of removed ... |

| Contamination analyses are used to determine if material, components, and subsystems can be expected to meet the performance requirements of a system. Of particular concern is the quantity of molecular contaminants which might be deposited on critical payload surfaces from these sources. This would include all time periods from fabrication, through loading into the vehicle, launching, and during the lifetime of the spacecraft in orbit. A method for determining the ... |

|
| The development of high power lasers operating in the infrared has generated a need for improved window coating materials. Absorption at the laser wavelengths must be as low as possible to minimize heating and concomitant damage. Residual impurities in optical materials give rise to absorption bands and also raise the nonspecific infrared absorption above the intrinsic level. |

| Death rates for a 2 1/2-year period were determined for microorganisms on stainless steel strips that were initially contaminated by handling or by aerial fallout. After 2 weeks' storage, the level of contamination from handling had decreased 94%, and after 2 1/2 years most but not all of the organisms were dead. Organisms accumulated on stainless steel from aerial fallout survival longer; 40% died in 2 weeks and 93% in ... |

| The subject of clean room design, construction and maintenance has appeared in the literature only within the last decade. Requirements for components for the space program have resulted in rooms many times cleaner than the present day hospital operating room. The attention of health-research-oriented personnel has been drawn to the clean room problem, since solutions to the problem of achieving microscopically clean air may be applied to the design of ... |

| Schottky diodes using single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were fabricated using palladium and aluminum source and drain contacts, respectively. SWNTs were grown on high resistivity silicon substrates with a thermal oxide layer using chemical vapor deposition and ferric nitrate catalyst. Multiple cleanroom processing steps were used to make the diodes which included the deposition of marker layers, oxygen plasma etch for selective nanotube removal, and electron beam evaporation of metal ... |
